Re: [Easy400Group] Switching from SNDEMAIL (QMSF) to MMAIL/EMLSTMF command... problems !!!

Speaking to Andy he explained that he got the content types the wrong way round so in fact MMAIL/EMSTMF was giving:
"application-octet/stream"
which i don't believe is a valid content type. After reading on the easy400 site even the notes on MMAIL *SRVPGM say:

 http://www-922.ibm.com/mmailh/srvpgm.htm?ts=ts200627162940#P07

1.          MimeImbAtt - Imbed or attach a part of the body.
Repeat this subprocedure to imbed or attach a part of the body, such as some text, an image, an audio, a movie, etc.

Inputs:
  • IFS MIME file name
  • Name of the IFS file to imbed or attach
  • Content/type of the IFS file to imbed or attach
  • Binary data flag: Y=binary
        Note 1. If the IFS file to imbed or attached is declared to be binary, it will be merged into the MIME file after being converted to BASE64 representation.
  • Imbed/Attach parameter: 1=Imbed, 2=Attach
        Note 2.Files to be imbedded are assigned the requested Content/type;
    Files to be attached are assigned "Content/type: application-octect/stream"  <- isnt this wrong?


Maybe the SRVPGM is wrong?? i don't have MMAIL installed so can't check, maybe someone else can confirm this?

Hi,

For some time we've emailed HTML attachments to customers using the
SNDEMAIL command however recently this has ceased working on the
iSeries (why i don't know... tried everything).

As a solution we've changed all the programs to use the EMLSTMF in the
MMAIL library which we've used selectively for a number of years.

The customer ARE now getting them, however alot are being blocked by
there IT depts firewalls... the reason being the content type has
changed.

Previously (SNDEMAIL) the content type was : "application-octet/stream"
(which was allowed through)

However using (EMLSTMF) the content type is : "application/octet-stream"
(which most customers are blocking)

Has anyone any thoughts on a work round ?

Many thanks
Andy
